It's More Than a Pick: Tortex

Tortex Picks are an iconic part of the fabric of rock ‘n’ roll. The world’s top guitar players—from Dave Matthews and John Mayer to Jim Root, Paul Gilbert, and Misha Mansoor—have made Tortex Picks their sonic paintbrush for more than 30 years. Known for a bright tone reminiscent of tortoiseshell and a unique, unmistakable feel, Tortex Picks are available in a wide variety of gauges to suit every playing style.

Tortex for life! Please Dunlop NEVER change the design of this pick.

Been using 'em for 24 years and don't wanna play without them.
Never stop!

I've been using the Barney-purple ones for decades and am not going to switch. Love you guys!

I've always wondered why these don't come in heavier gauges? a lot of picks go up to 2mm and this only goes up to 1.14

[ericweber]

1.14s are the best thing since Leo Fender invented the bass.

Why did you just upload a 16 second ad?

I've been using the 1.14 tortex jazz 3 picks and there fucking awesome.

Make a Dunlop Tortex .67 in gold!! I'm convinced the feel of a fender medium is somewhere in between .60 and .73 even though .73 is about the average gauge of a fender medium, the feel is different. I love the .73 and the .60 is cool for Hendrixy stuff but I wonder if the perfect Tortex for me is right in between...

Are you guys remaking the old Herco picks?

the texture on them sucks, feels like there's some kind of flour on them
